Close to Uruguay’s ‘Riviera’ at Punta del Este and the fashionable fishing village of José Ignacio, the Bodega Garzón winery may only have opened in 2016 but it is already spearheading the Uruguayan wine scene. Blessed with some of the world’s oldest granitic soils (dating back 2,500 million years), the estate covers 2,200 hectares with a vibrant biodiversity that includes untouched native forests and palm trees. Striking examples of the ancient rocks protrude into the underground cellars, forming part of the very architecture, and the entire estate holds a Silver LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), built with sustainability in mind.
